We got married in a hotel in the Scottish countryside, so not only were the ceremony, breakfast and reception all in the same place, but once the official party had stopped, there was the hotel bar to abuse.

Pretending you have an allergy is a pretty hosed up thing to do, because it means that it increases the number of people, albeit stupid people, who think that all allergies are fake.

It saddens me to say that I have met people who genuinely don't believe in allergies, because they think that everyone who says they have an allergy is just making excuses for not liking shellfish, peanuts, latex or whatever.

Just grow a pair and tell people that you don't want something because you don't like it, don't pretend to be allergic to things.

You are joking. Who the gently caress says "sammie" to mean a sandwich? I don't believe you.

Edit:

Very Strange Things posted:

It actually comes from the German Hamburgensammichessen though, which predates the word "sandwich".

Is that named after the famous Count von Hamburgensammichessen? That apocryphal story about the nobleman who was hungry while gambling: He was too stupid to pronounce words properly, so his servants just ladled nourishing gruel into his drooling maw.

A butty is a very specific type of sandwich and is not even in the same league as "sammich".

As for "sarnie", I think it sounds stupid, but for some reason it doesn't strike me as quite so stupid sounding as "sammie".

A chip sandwich is only impossible to eat if you do it wrong. Get two slices of bread, line chips along half of each slice, add ketchup and fold. Your chips are going nowhere. Food of (anaemic, sweaty) champions.

Make sure you check out the overground and the buses, too. Overground is really cheap compared to the tube, and the buses, whilst slower, allow you see sights and beautiful buildings that you would miss on the tube. As a good rule of thumb, you probably want to be staying at least inside zone 3 of the tube. Further out from the centre than that is a bit far from the action.

Also, I agree with Steakandchips: Edinburgh is by a long way the best thing in Scotland; Glasgow is OK-ish, but Stirling really has nothing going for it.

Oh, and dogs/chavs/tourists are unavoidable.

Edit: And, when you're in London go to the Dali Universe on the South Bank. It's ace.

What's going on with NICSA? I thought it was supposed to be one dish and a simple theme, to encourage posters from all over the forums to join in with GWS.

The curry ICSA is a great example of something that is simple, but gives full vent to people's creative ability, whereas the current NICSA seems needlessly restrictive, again.
